Luka's pov

"I'll come back and talk tomorrow," She had said. Except, she didn't.

It has been four days and there was still no sign of Victoria. When I called her, she always said that something came up and she'll come the next day, or she didn't answer at all. It was getting old.

I couldn't help but feel like a scene was replaying in my life, like deja vu, and it was terrifying. I don't want to live through that again. When she was leaving on Sunday, my wolf became restless.

I couldn't control him, and for some reason he believes she's in danger. I can't blame him though. The last time someone dear to us left, she never came back. I guess that's why it affected us this much.

Yes, Victoria is dear to us, dear to me. It was my wolf at first, and I didn't get why. I just thought that he liked her because of her resemblance to Ella, but after time I realized it wasn't just that. Sometimes my heart would hurt when I look at her, because she reminds me so much of Ella, but then again she's the very same one who makes it feel better again.

It explained why he was always calm around her, and overtime, so was I. When I am around her, I don't feel as horrible as I did for the past year, and I like it.

She makes me feel like I used to once upon a time. I know I've only known this girl for like a month, but being wolves, our feelings are heightened and I can't help it.

Sometimes I feel guilty that I'm feeling happy while my mate is in a grave somewhere, but can I mourn her forever?

I still love her so much, and I will always love and cherish her. I miss her so damn much, and I'm not 100% sure if I'll ever truly get over her. She'll always be my one true mate, but I don't want to live in sorrow and regret forever.

But what do I do when my one shot at escaping that life walked out and isn't coming back? I have to go get her.

I was just about to go get some breakfast when I heard a knock on my door. I saw my dad and a sad looking Emma stroll in. Emma hasn't been taking it well either. She has Ashley, and they seem to get along quite better than I expected, but both of them wanted Victoria to come back.

Who would've thought? Emma, who was mostly against Victoria being here, fell in love with her the most.

"Still no word about her coming back?" My dad asked, as I shook my head saying no.

We had filled him and mom in about Ashley coming and Victoria finding out about us. Of course, mom was more irritated about the whole Victoria thing, but she was happy about Ashley.

My dad seemed content with it all, but I'm not surprised. He always trusted our judgment, but he seemed strangely interested in Victoria.

"Do you think she's gonna come back?" Emma asked in a strained voice. I hated seeing her like this, she's my baby sister after all.

"She has to," I said firmly, gazing at nothing in particular. "Even if I have to go get her myself"

"Son, you do know why you're this allured to her right?" he asked and I nodded, knowing quite well why my wolf liked her at first, and why I got so attracted to her this fast.

"Good. I've only seen this only a few times in my lifetime, but I'm happy my son is one of the lucky ones" He patted my back reassuringly as I gave him a small smile.

"Wait what do you guys know that I don't know?" Emma asked, obviously confused. I smiled at her innocence.

"His wolf has imprinted on Victoria".

"But no one is to tell her this just yet" I added. "When she comes back, I don't want her running off again because of this. She already has enough wolf drama to last her a while"
